The placebo effect is at least 30% and sometimes up to 80% effective. Look it up.
What radio or chemo therapy treatment is this effective?

So, to throw a log onto the fire, I would ask:
What has been done with all those (probably billions of) dollars which have gone into cancer research?

Think of all the different avenues of cancer research which have supposedly been investigated and yet .... no cure yet.

And there are historically many cures which have been dismissed as quackery yet have also many 'cures' to their name AND were discovered by doctors (not scientists).

As an example which will no-doubt attract the usual attackers: Royal Raymond Rife found what he called a prion (using his one-of-a-kind microscope) which was responsible for cancer. He developed a device which he showed bursting and killing the infected cells. Strangely the AMA did not properly investigate and prosecuted him in the courts. He died in prison a broken man.

Another example - Dr Abrams (a medical doctor) reveloped a method of diagnosis based on precussion (a well-known diagnostic practice) whereby the sound of dull precussion of a particular body area would indicate a serious condition. This he extended to develop a machine which could diagnose and treat these diseases. He was also persecuted by the AMA which said he was a fraud in spite of many cures.

The cancer research industry has an emotional blackmail stranglehold on us. They have a vested interest in not killing the cash-cow of donations pouring their way.

For which types of cancers? What studies were done to measure this effectiveness? Can you provide the details of how the studies were conducted including size of sample and control groups? You mention names, but cite no studies.

Another thing: You are making quite an extraordinary assertion. I am of the view that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Statements like yours are dangerous in the sense they might persuade some gullible or desperate people to not get treatment imagining there is some magic cure out there.

Finally, let's stop with the BS that I "can look it up". You are the one making the assertion. Unless you want your opinion completely disregarded cite to some scientific proof.
